Before going further, it is good to decide whether the results are satisfactory, or need optimization. Lets consider [[7bak]], a drug-target protease of SARS-CoV-2 (see [https://pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/242 Coronavirus Proteases]). A ConSurf run with all default settings left 10% of the residues with insufficient data<ref name="insufficientdata">When the confidence interval for a conservation value of an amino acid is too large, ConSurf reports "insufficient data" (uncertainty: yellow color). See [https://consurf.tau.ac.il/quick_help.php#RELIABILITY Position Specific Quality] and [https://consurf.tau.ac.il/overview.php#_Toc311131298 Confidence Interval] in the ConSurf documentation.</ref> (yellow color), and the diversity in the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) was too low ([[Interpreting_ConSurf_Results#Average_Pairwise_Distance|average pairwise distance]] 0.34), leaving conservation grades 2 and 3 almost unoccupied. These inadequacies are highlighted by a distribution report displayed by FirstGlance.
